FW: Problem Building exes on Win32

Sure....  I can execute this script (as perl):

        #!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe

        print "Hello World!";

        exit();

I'm trying to build an exe with this command:

        C:\Dev>pp -o out.exe test.pl

I get this from pp:

        Can't locate Cwd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xa20874) .) at
C:/Perl/lib/File/Spec/Win32.pm line 4.
        BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:/Perl/lib/File/Spec/Win32.pm line 4.
        Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/File/Spec.pm line
15.
        Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/IO/File.pm line
113.
        BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/IO/File.pm line
113.
        Compilation failed in require at -e line 305.

Where should par be installed?  Right now, I've just have it installed
in C:\Perl, and I've added C:\Perl\script to my PATH.  Could that be
causing my problems?

Hmmm.   I am using Windows XP, and also Windows Millenium.  I created my

executable on XP and ran it, and also ran it on my Millenium machine.  
BTW my Millenium machine does not have perl installed.  I have perl 
v5.8.4 on my XP machine.  I know this does not really help much.  Can 
you post a simple script that shows the symptoms you described?
